Movies

After the SciFi Channel's decision to not renew ''Stargate SG-1'' in 2006, the ''SG-1'' producers and rights-holder MGM expressed a desire to continue ''SG-1'' as a movie, mini-series, or an 11th season on another network. Brad Wright confirmed the production of two direct-to-DVD films in October 2006, which eventually became '' Stargate: The Ark of Truth'' and '' Stargate: Continuum''. A special edition of the two-hour pilot episode " Children of the Gods" with re-edited scenes, all new visual effects, and a new score by Joel Goldsmith was released in July 2009. In April 2009, MGM confirmed a third new ''SG-1'' film that Brad Wright had first announced in May 2008. However, this last project (entitled '' Stargate: Revolution'') was put on hold and eventually got shelved permanently in 2011.
